A country-specific analysis on internet interconnection ecosystems
With the proliferating number of diverse participants and destinations to reach the Internet construct has become more intricate to assay. Today Internet Service Providers (ISPs) establish resilient networks from multiple providers and broaden the number of peering links-as financially as viable. However the complex structure of the global Internet ecosystem and entwined roles of Internet players simply prevent us from conducting generalized models for grasping interconnections which could be ...

Analysis and Implications of the Giant Component for an Online Interactive Platform
Authors:Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; Perdahci, N. Ziya
Publisher and Date:(Int Business Information Management Assoc-IBIMA, 2016)This research is concerned with practical and research challenges related to understanding the nature of online interactive platforms. So-called network science is adopted to investigate the very nature of these systems as complex systems. In this regard we examine an online interactive health network and show that the interactive platform examined exhibits essential structural properties that characterize most real complex networks. We basically look into the largest connected component so-called ...

Analysis of the Patients and Physicians Connection Network on an online Health Information Platform
Social network applications have gained popularity in the health domain as they bring health information seekers (patients and alike) and medication advice providers (physicians and other relevant actors) together. By employing a network science perspective this research is aimed to understand an information network establishing connections among and between information seekers and providers. We found that such a connection network surfaces most of the essential characteristics of a typical complex ...

Applicability of evolutionary game theoretic models to dynamic social networks
It is known that in social communities; humans display two main patterns of behavior: acting in their own utility or acting for the utility of the community in which they exist (cooperation). Mentioned two basic behaviors are addressed by the traditional game theory models which take as their basis the rational human. Therefore, these models accept that the behavior which would bring in the optimal outcome, is the one that maximizes the personal benefits of decision makers. On the other hand, ...

Application of the right to data portability: A technical and managerial perspective
European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation provides individuals with new rights one of which is the Right to Data Portability. The Right to Data Portability has been further explained by relevant European data protection bodies’ guidelines (European Data Protection Board, Article 29 Working Party, Information Commissioner’s Office). Article 29 Working Party and Information Commissioner’s Office refer to midata initiative in the United Kingdom as an exemplary application of the Right ...

Complex Adaptive Systems Theory in the Context of Business Process Management
Organizations require agility adaptiveness and flexibility to survive and to deal with complexity in business ecosystems and business processes are recognized as cornerstones of successful organizations. Paradigms underlying existing business process management (BPM) methods and solutions have been questioned for their ability to capture the complexity of business dynamics. The basic trust of this research is to search for an alternative approach to better understand underpinnings of business ...

Dynamic network analysis of online interactive platform
The widespread use of online interactive platforms including social networking applications community support applications draw the attention of academics and businesses. The basic trust of this research is that the very nature of these platforms can be best described as a network of entangled interactions. We agree with scholars that these platforms and features necessitate the call for theory of network as a novel approach to better understand their underpinnings. We examine one of the leading ...

Examination of Centrality in a Health Social Network
Authors:Alasan, Semiha N.; Sayın, Kamran Emre; Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz
Publisher and Date:(IOS Press, 2014)Growing importance of health information platforms are acknowledges in recent studies. Such platforms are subject to discussion about an extent to which social network characteristics are realized. The platform under examination indeed demonstrates social network peculiarities. In this work we explore the nature of centrality in one of the leading health information networks in Europe. Among other findings we identify two nodes (representing patient and physician) are as the most important people ...

Hub analysis of health information platform from a network science perspective
Online information platforms such as social networking applications are subject to examination of the underlying interactions as a network. Managers of these platforms are often unaware what constitutes the very idea of network growth. Conventional web and social analytics metrics are not adequate to surface the intriguing interplays among individuals interacting on these platforms. Thus, the challenge for managers is to know what underlies growth of the network on these platforms. The goal of ...

A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Multivariate Spatio-Temporal Data
Multivariate time-series data with a contextual spatial attribute have extensive use for finding anomalous patterns in a wide variety of application domains such as earth science, hurricane tracking, fraud, and disease outbreak detection. In most settings, spatial context is often expressed in terms of ZIP code or region coordinates such as latitude and longitude. However, traditional anomaly detection techniques cannot handle more than one contextual attribute in a unified way. In this paper, a ...

Machine learning algorithms for lamb survival
Authors:Emsen, Ebru; Aydın, Man Nuri; Ödevci, Bahadır
Publisher and Date:(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-03)Lamb survival is influenced by the culmination of a sequence of often interrelated events including genetics, physiology, behaviour and nutrition, with the environment providing an overarching complication. Machine learning algorithms offer great flexibility with regard to problems of complex interactions among variables. The objective of this study was to use machine learning algorithms to identify factors affecting the lamb survival in high altitudes and cold climates. Lambing records were ...

Metadata Action Network Model for Cloud Based Development Environment
Authors:Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; Perdahçı, Ziya Nazım; Şafak, İlker; van Hillegersberg, Jos
Publisher and Date:(Springer, 2020)Cloud-based software development solutions (entitled as Platform-as-a-Service, Low-Code platforms) have been promoted as a game changing paradigm backed by model-driven architecture and supported by various cloud-based services. With the engagement of a sheer number of platform users (experienced, novel, or citizen developers) these platforms generate invaluable data and that can be considered as user metadata actions. As cloud-based development solutions provide novice users with a new development ...

Modularity analysis of a bipartite network for an e-commerce shop
Many real-world systems which are of interest to both researchers and practitioners can be modeled as networks – sets of nodes, representing objects, and links between them, representing the interactions among these objects. One of the most important categories of complex networks in naturally real-world systems is bipartite networks (opposite to general unipartite networks), where nodes can be divided into two disjoint sets such that no two nodes of the same type are connected; there are no links ...

Modularity analysis of a health information platform from a network science perspective
As Barabási (2015) emphasizes that the very idea of communities goes back to the time people were born into communities and had to find their individuality. But today it is the other way around, that is, people are born individuals and have to find their communities. This research is aimed to better understand modularity measures for a health information platform. Such platform is an exemplary of its many kinds that are characterized as interactive, web-based information exchange platforms. These ...
